Little Boy Blue

Our little boy is feeling pretty blue, although you wouldn't have known it right before bedtime tonight.

For the past a day or so, Jacob has been starting to come down with a cold, but nothing too bad. Jacob seemed to be fine this morning when he was dropped off at school. As time went on in the morning, Jacob's health started to deteriorate and the school felt it was enough to make a call to us. It was getting closer to lunch time, so it was decided that they would wait until Jacob ate and took a nap and then see how he was feeling before any decisions were made since he didn't have a fever. Well, he ate about half of his lunch (not all that uncommon) and took his nap. They ended up waking him up because it was way past time he would normally get up. He now had a fever of over 101.0. So, we got the call to come and get him.

In the meantime, Amy called the doctor to let them know what was going on and they wanted to see him. We made a 5:00 appt. because we wouldn't be able to get Jacob there in 15 minutes for the 3:00.

To make a long story short, Jacob has an ear infection and a throat infection and is now on an antibiotic. He was still pretty lothargic for a while after the doctor appt., but did have a little energy before going to bed. We assume that he will get some regained strength tonight and hopefully be back to himself shortly.
